Overall, it looks really good. Just a few comments. (Don't take the nits the wrong way.)

Content:
* We should probably specify the current SAL interfaces in the MD-SAL layer, e.g., flow programming and inventory

Formatting/fonts/layout:
* It would be great if we could make the font for "First Release" match OPEN DAYLIGHT so that it's less jarring. If we have a name, it would be great to put the name there instead of "first release".
* Boxes are not quite aligned and/or of different sizes in lots of places where they shouldn't be, e.g., the network applications
* I'm not sure why the Open vSwitches switch has a shadow, but none of the others do
* Lots of boxes aren't entirely contained within their parent boxes, e.g., DOVE Mgr, Affinity Service, DDOS stats/traffic redirect
* It's typically DDoS, not DDOS
* Is there a reason we capitalize some things, e.g., all boxes but base network service functions, and don't capitalize others?

I hope this helps,
--Colin

Hello Again TSC Members:

Thanks again to everyone for your excellent feedback!

Please take a look at the updated OpenDaylight Graphic for the first
release.

I have tried to incorporate everyone's comments and suggestions. Please
take another look and let me know your thoughts.

My apologies for putting a time crunch on this, but if we are going to hit
our collateral deadline, I need all comments back before the close of
business on Monday (8/26). That is when I will send it to the graphics
professionals who will get everything just right as well as put it into the
correct color scheme (ie the colors are going to change and be much closer
to the first graphic).

Thanks for your help on this.

Phil.

Hi Phil,

With various discussions around the SAL and not all the south-bound plugins
may adopt MD-SAL approach for the first release,
Should we change the graphic to reflect the eventual reality of having both
Traditional SAL & MD-SAL co-existing during the first-release ?
Eventually, it will all be MD-SAL, but (at least to me) it seems overly
aggressive to call it MD-SAL only for the first release.

Just my 2c.

Thanks,
Madhu

Thanks to everyone for your comments of approval on the updated architecture
diagram. I have not received any suggested edits so I have sent it to the
graphic designers for final touches.

I'll send out the final version once I receive it.

Phil.

Essentially, my suggestion is to have both AD-SAL (API Driven SAL) - am just inventing this acronym here :-)
and MD-SAL (Model Driven SAL) in the picture which will give architecture space for the release.

Eventually, it will all be MD-SAL, but (at least to me) it seems overly
aggressive to call it MD-SAL only for the first release.

So here's a question: to what extent will code built for the
non-MD-SAL have to be re{written,factored} in moving to the MD-SAL,

If MD-SAL development is done with easy-migration in mind, then the
Yang auto code generation

Assuming the Easy-migration is not considered, then every bit of code
that depend on existing SAL

and what are the issues one should consider in building code for the
first release (non-MD-SAL) to make "conversion" to the MD-SAL as
painless as possible?

Ed started with an Archetype to help with a template project for
MD-SAL. I think that is the right

--dmm

Just my 2c.

Thanks,
Madhu

Or just call it SAL. I think it's hard to get that kind of subtlty
across with a single graphic. From a user perspective...AD/MD...
internel implementation detail.

Agreed. If others see a need to highlight these, we can do something
like
